Problems solved by technology

At present, there are three main implementation schemes of optical network on chip based on wavelength division multiplexing: one is to assign a different wavelength to each node, and its disadvantage is that too many wavelengths are used, which limits the network scalability; the second is to assign a different wavelength to each node. It realizes wavelength reuse by adding waveguides and improves the utilization rate of wavelengths. The disadvantage is that the increase in the number of waveguides will increase the number of waveguide crossings a...
